Few years ago I showed you how to show custom picture on USB flash drive. That time it was a quite interesting trick among the PC users. Today I'm gonna show you another trick which will show your custom image on your Computer System Properties! Let's try . . .

Applies to - I'm using Windows 10. Hopefully it works with the previous versions of Windows too . . .

This window shows the basic information of your Computer. Your picture will be shown in the System section. Now look at the image below -

After completing this task, your image will be displayed as mine.

Procedure | 2 Stages

The whole task is to be divided into 2 stages. At first, we've to prepare your image. And then we've to work in Windows Registry Editor. You must be careful enough to finish the task properly. Cause if you miss any point this trick may not work . . .

Stage 1 - Preparing the Image

Choose an image that you wanna display on your system information.

Open that image in Photoshop. Resize or crop the image to make it smaller.

It shouldn't be too large. Keep the size within 200 to 250 pixels.

Go to File > Save as > BMP i.e. Your filename will be like Munna.bmp

Your image is ready. Now copy and paste this image i.e. Munna.bmp to the following location of your Computer -

C:\Windows\System32\oobe

After pasting the image it should look like the image below -

That's it. Now you're eligible for the next stage.

Stage 2 - Working with the Registry Editor

Press Start + R > Type regedit > Press Enter > Hit Yes

This will open Registry Editor window

Now go to this location step by step - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation

Click right mouse button either over the OEMInformation or on the right side blank area > String Value > Rename the string as Logo.

Now double click on the Logo and input the following code into value data - %systemroot%\System32\oobe\Munna.bmp

Press OK and get out of Registry Editor window.

Now press Start + Pause to view your system information or simply go to Desktop > Right Click over My Computer/ This PC > Choose Properties > See the magic!

When working on web I always prefer Google Chrome. But it's time to think about something else. Yes, the new Firefox. Mozilla named it Firefox Quantum - it's updated, improved and dashing! Let's give it a try . . .

Mozilla's CEO Chris Beard says that this new version of Firefox is blazing fast. This rebuilt brand new web browser will deliver a completely different experience to the users. It's modern, quick and efficient.

Mozilla hopes that the Internet users will also agree with them. Now time will say what the reality will be . . .

A powerful new engine for rapid performance

Better and faster page loading with less computer memory

Smart design for intelligent web browsing

30% lighter than Chrome - less pressure on your RAM

Tips for the new users . . .

If you're new to Firefox then I would like to share some basic tips that may enhance your experience with this browser. Before you begin make sure that you've got the latest version of Firefox i.e. Firefox Quantum 57.0.2.

Reader View

It's like Microsoft Edge's Reading Mode. If you're bored with the ads and graphics of a website, then you can enter into Reader view. This will remove ads and unnecessary graphics from web page and optimize it for better reading.

You will find the reader view button 📄 at URL bar. Remember that some websites may not support reader view. In that case you will not see the reader view button.

Screenshots

This new version of Firefox includes a nice screen capturing tool. Most of the available screenshot application can only capture the monitor view. But this one is capable of capturing a whole website. That means you can only capture and current view as well as the full webpage.

Follow the above image. You will get the screenshot option by clicking the action button which is located in the URL bar.

Save your Favourite Article/ Video

This feature is called Pocket. If you need something to watch later, then you can save it in pocket. Later you can find it in your pocket list.

Pocket button is also available in URL bar. Don't forget to sign in to Firefox before using Pocket.

Library

Firefox Quantum provides library facility for the users. This is really a great feature to get all of your stuffs in one place.

Your pocket saves, bookmarks, history, screenshots all will be available in library. You will get the library icon at the upper right corner of the browser.

Tracking Protection

Need privacy? Choose New Private Window from menu button or press Ctrl+Shift+P for private browsing. This will take you to the private mode which is tracking protected. When you're in this mode your history, cookies, temporary files and search queries will not be saved.

Online trackers will be blocked by Firefox so that your information can't be leaked.

I think Firefox lovers are already appreciating its team for this great work. And hopefully chrome lovers will also think about Quantum . . .

Google Maps is a great application for the commuters. Google frequently brings changes to make this app more useful for the users. Recently Google started life traffic features in Bangladesh which is already available in many countries.

Now we can enjoy the traffic status of the desired areas. This service has been started two weeks ago on November 10, 2017. Before you can continue, make sure -

You're using the latest version of Google Maps

Your Phone's Location Service (GPS) - is turned on

Traffic Option is Turned on in your Google Maps App

Tap on the icon as shown in the above image. Now follow the next image.

You can keep the Map Type as default. Choose the traffic option on Map Details.

After turning on this service, you will be able to see the live traffic status in your area. This will show the traffic status of your route as well as the traffic status of the whole city.

Understanding the Signals -

Green - No Traffic Delays

Orange - Medium amount of traffic/ Busy Road/ Slower Movement

Red - Traffic delays. The darker the red, the slower the traffic movement

Darker Red - Heavy Traffic/ Almost no movement

Traffic Incident Symbols -

Traffic incidents include these types of delays:

Crashes

Construction

Road closures

Other incidents

If you notice any of these icons on your route, simply tap on it to see details about what happened.

How does Google shows/ predicts traffic?

Well this question may knock you again and again if you're not aware about GPS technology. Almost every smartphone includes GPS sensors. And modern vehicles also include GPS.

When you move from one place to another with your vehicle or smartphone, it sends signals to the server. Google collects and analyzes your movement data. And remember that you're not the only person moving with GPS. There might be thousands who are also having a car or GPS enabled devices.

Google gathers data from all of you and then determine whether the road is busy or free.

Besides in developed countries, they have traffic sensors installed by the roadside in many cities. These traffic sensors can provide more accurate data about live traffic.

How Accurate the Google Maps is?

Well it depends. The accuracy may vary depending on -

How many vehicles have GPS

How many smartphone users are using Google Maps

How many users keep their location service turned on

Whether people are really in traffic jam or passing free time somewhere

Well this feature is available in Adobe Reader since long. But I didn't notice it in a browser until Microsoft has added this feature to its Edge browser. If you're using the latest version of Windows 10 then your Edge browser can talk actually! Yes, it's tested and true! Let's see how . . .

Before you can start your edge browser to read aloud, make sure you're using the latest version of Windows 10.

Microsoft Edge can read aloud your web contents, E-book and any other PDF files. If you wanna listen to the contents of a web page, then -

Dear Bangladeshis! If you have an Account with Google AdSense then probably you got a message last month - AdSense now understands Bengali that means you can publish AdSense Ads on your Bengali blog or website and start earning. It's really a great news for webmasters who publishes contents in Bengali . . .

It's been more than a decade since AdSense started their Journey. Google AdSense is a worldwide advertising platform that supports both the publishers and the advertisers. Depending on the market trend AdSense is stretching its range. Inclusion of new languages, Ad formats and Sizes is a part of routine development of AdSense. Now the publishers 0f 41 languages can monetize their contents using Google AdSense. Who are the Actual Gainer?I think the publishers of my country (Bangladesh) are the actual gainers. There are more than 150 million people whose primary language is Bengali. And there are more than thousand publishers who generates Bengali contents. Besides Bengali is one of the prime languages in some parts of India i.e. West Bengal, Tripura, Assam, Jharkhand etc. Around 10% of Indian people talk Bengali. So the publishers of these areas will also be benefited by the inclusion of new language in AdSense. And I feel really unlucky that I've no Bengali site yet! Cause when I started blogging AdSense didn't understand Bengali that time. The Challenge of Bengali PublishersIt's true that a large number of world population talk in Bengali. But it's not an International language and it's not well known worldwide. So catching visitors worldwide for Bengali contents is not that easy. But luckily there are millions of immigrants in different countries whose primary language is Bengali. So the publishers will get some International traffic for their contents. So the publishers it's time to leave. Wish you all for a better luck with mother tongue . . .

Maybe invented years ago but the product has caught our attention very recently - this year. It's claimed that fidget spinners are helpful to calm people down who are suffering from anxiety and neurological disorders. These devices are also used for the treatment of Autism and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) even though it's not scientifically recognized. About the DeviceFidget spinner is a very simple device. It's basically a toy made for little kids. Though invented more than two decades ago, it's been popular in this year - April 2017.

A good quality fidget spinner may spin up to few minutes! When spinning it may take different forms and that attracts the kids. Physical StructureYou may find various types of fidget spinners available in market. They are available in different shapes, colors and prices but I will talk about the most common type.

Look at the upper right corner. You can also change the lobs to numbers. Simply change the option Fidget to Number. Hope you enjoyed the topic. See you in the next one . . .

Clean Master is a traditional tool to keep your Android Phone running smoothly. But currently I prefer another tool called Speed Cleaner. It's small in size and works quite perfectly to keep your device clean, fast and safe. Let's give it a try . . .

After installing this App, you will get its icon at notification area. From there you can easily access its services (Cleaner, Cooler, Booster & Flashlight) quickly.
